Disgusting. Outrageous. Unacceptable.

#Trump said he would "take a look at" #pardons for 2 men #convicted of conspiring to #kidnap & #murder #Michigan Governor #GretchenWhitmer in 2020.

Barry Croft Jr. & Adam Fox were found guilty as the leaders of an anti-government #extremists group who wanted to grab Whitmer, a #Democrat, at her vacation home, kill her & start a #CivilWar.

Experts: During the COVID-19 pandemic, global supply chain breakdowns exposed the risks of relying on international sources for essential vaccine production.

Expanding Canada’s domestic RNA vaccine capacity is more than just a scientific priority; it’s a public health imperative and economic opportunity. 💉

Authorities wrestled a US-born citizen to the ground,
cuffed him and dismissed his so-called Real ID as “fake”
during an arrest operation targeting undocumented people on Wednesday under the direction of the Trump administration,
according to a viral video and reporting by Telemundo.
Leonardo Garcia Venegas, 25, was at his construction job in Foley, Alabama, when officials arrived to arrest workers there.

Garcia Venegas – who was born in Florida to Mexican parents – began filming the arrests with his mobile phone before officials reportedly knocked the device out of his hand and tried to arrest him as well.
Video of the arrest shows three officials wrestling him to the ground, while he yells: “I’m a citizen!”

According to an interview with the Spanish-language US news outlet Telemundo, officials took out his wallet,
removed his ID
– which complies with higher federal security standards for state-issued driver’s licenses as well as identification
– and told him that it was fake.

“They cuffed me,” he said. “They put the cuffs on quite hard.”

Four people at the job site were arrested, including Garcia Venegas’s brother, who is undocumented.

The Trump administration's assault on Palestine activism may seem unprecedented, but the parallels to the post-9/11 "War on Terror" are chillingly familiar. However, this attempt to quash dissent will fail, because you cannot deport a movement.

John Oliver did a must-see dissection of Big Journalism's pathetic weakness in the face of Trump threats and actions to curb press freedom.

Secret sauce: Oliver is brilliant, and he has a superb staff of reporters and editors who bring fact and context to every show.

Seriously, Bluesky? Your new account-verification system requires signing into a Google account and uploading a photo of a state-issued ID via a Google Form? GMAFB.

Update: I'm told by someone I trust that there is not a requirement to upload an ID. Still trying to figure out what's what.

@dangillmor

Actually, it is not clear that the Google Form asks for the photo ID. This post discusses them asking for a photo ID once an account has been locked: https://mastodon.online/@mastodonmigration/114559706831853941

In a reply, the Google form is mentioned, but it is not clear what information is requested in the form.

New Industry Minister Mélanie Joly has 60 days to make it a lot simpler to get into the federal government's marquee innovation programs, she tells colleague Laura Osman: "We are a war cabinet, and we need to have a wartime philosophy."

The application form for the Strategic Innovation Fund is 50 pages long and that won't do, she says.
